1
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
day of the month,
that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, because Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, Aha,
it is well that she is broken who is the gate of the peoples; she is turned unto me; I shall be filled; and she
shall be deserted:
3
therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said; Behold, I
am against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee as the sea causes its waves to come up.
4
And they shall demolish the walls of Tyre and destroy her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her and make her like the top of a rock.
5
It shall be
a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken, said the Lord GOD, and it shall be spoiled by the Gentiles.
6
And her daughters who
are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I
am the LORD.
7
For thus hath the Lord GOD said; Behold, I bring upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon,
a king of kings, from the north, with horses and with chariots and with horsemen and companies and many people.
8
He shall slay with the sword thy daughters who
are in the field; and he shall make a fort against thee and cast a mount against thee and lift up the buckler against thee.
